Anyone catch the dance practice? V/M just did their FD. WOW. First off, I adore the music cuts. God bless them for doing a completely instrumental version of Carmen. As for the choreo, it seems really intense, and they look super into it. Hard to judge when you only see bits and pieces, but the program looks like a winner to me.

I too liked everything that I saw of Virtue/Moir -- including the instrumental music.
My favorite moments:

- Mind-boggling rotational lift.
- Dramatic ending pose
- Cool spin that they did during group time after all the individual program runthroughs.

BTW, V/M were not in costume. Simple solid-black practice outfits.
And in case anyone missed it yesterday, The Windsor Star had quotes from Moir that he is "100 per cent" and "not feeling any limitations."

Looks like another great program for them. If there's a team that describes innovation in Ice Dance right now for me it's V/M. Some of those lifts are really unique. Was anyone else distracted by the percussion instruments in the score? I don't know if they need that through the adagio section for an ice dance rule or something, but it made the music really cheesy to me, and distracted from their skating. It is setting up to be another tight race between them and D/W!!

And nice ones! Better looking than Sotnikova's when she was a junior! I hope she lands that combo in the competition.
I missed Liza, how did she skate? I saw a 3Lz-3T after the program but I don't know if it was rotated

not sure if it was fully rotated couln'tsee clearly, I think she just arrived to the rink, her hair looked so messy, jumps were good except on that 2A she fell
